Every day, 250,000 servings of salmon go from the slaughterhouse in Salangen. We produce over 15,000 tonnes of salmon a year.
We are proud to be an important food producer in the community. We produce fish that are proven safe and healthy to eat. We also produce the food that everyone will need to eat more of in the future. Fish and seafood contain a variety of nutrients that we need, and the consumption of salmon and seafood in general is part of both national and global nutrition councils.
Even in the seafood nation of Norway, seafood consumption has to go up. Today we eat almost twice as much meat as fish, and children and young people are the ones who eat the least seafood of all.
We need to produce more food from the sea and there is a strong global focus on aquaculture in all forms being crucial to supplying the world's population with enough food. Aquaculture is efficient food production. Worldwide, there is a shortage of seafood, also seen from a public health perspective.
